The Dr Paul Enenche-led Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Abuja, has removed the name of embattled Gospel minstrel, Sammie Okposo, from the list of musicians slated to minister at the centre on Friday January 28, 2022.
The old flyer for the 2022 Nations Worship programme bearing Okposo’s name and posted on the church’s Instagram handle has been replaced with a new one without the singer’s name.
Stonix News reports that Urhobo-born gospel diva had, after being exposed by his American side chick of a romance that has led to pregnancy, admitted his error and announced a self-imposed suspension from gospel activities to seek God’s face for mercy.
Okposo, on his Instagram page last Tuesday, also tendered a public apology to his wife, Ozioma, and his fans for the error, urging Nigerians to pray for him.
He narrated that he committed adultery with another woman when he travelled to the United States for ministration in late 2021.
“On my recent trip to the USA (late 2021), I got intimately involved with a lady, knowing that this was not appropriate as a married man and a minister of the Gospel.
“I am ashamed and regret my actions as it has caused a lot of pain to my dear wife, Ozioma, my family and I.
“As I work in making peace with God, repenting and asking His forgiveness, I am suspending myself from all ministry work until full restoration, as this is what is proper and what I know I owe God and His people,” he had posted.
He further appealed to his wife, fans, fathers and mothers of the faith, ministers of the gospel and everyone he had disappointed and embarrassed for forgiveness.
“To my wife, Ozioma, I am sincerely sorry. Your forgiveness of my moral failure and poor judgment is important to me,” he had pleaded.
